It has been brought to the attention of the Ministry of Health and Wellness that some batches of Valsartan, a popular drug used to treat high blood pressure, is the subject of an worldwide recall.

Three companies agreed to voluntarily pull the generic drug containing valsartan after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration reported that it may be tainted with the human carcinogen N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA).

The FDA said not all products containing valsartan were being recalled in the United States.

He advised patients not to stop taking valsartan drugs without the doctor's permission, warning that going off medication without supervision could be risky.

If the information is not there, patients should contact the pharmacy where they got it, the FDA said.

European countries, including Germany, Italy, Finland and Australia, have recalled drugs using valsartan supplied by Huahai following the Europe Medicines Agency issuing an alert to review such drugs earlier this month. "This is why we've asked these companies to take immediate action to protect patients", said Janet Woodcock, director of the FDA's Centre for Drug Evaluation and Research. The FDA said the reason the NDMA was in the medications is "thought to be related to changes in the way the active substances was manufactured".

FDA responses have reignited the matter of health and safety.

Both the FDA and EMA are further investigating. "It just makes me wonder if there's a link", Meade said.
